Google and Facebook accused of breaking GDPR laws

The regulation made headlines around the globe with its stricter data protection standards, substantial fines, and most of all, extensive reach. Data is owned by various corporates or organizations in Hong Kong.

Protect your company's most important data: ensure the sensitive data under your control is protected across devices, apps, and cloud services and on-premises environments. This change will be done if European authorities revise their instructions about constitutes' compliance. And today, the transition stage is over - the GDPR will now be enforced.

A key objective of the GDPR empowers individuals (or data subjects) with various rights.

GDPR The GDPR sets out seven key principles: lawfulness, fairness and transparency, objective limitation, data minimization, accuracy, storage limitation, integrity and confidentiality (security), and accountability. Luckily, I found one posted by an organization called International Association of Privacy Professionals.

The GDPR legislation is "based on highly aspirational and ethical objectives", Nanni said, with a focus on the rights of the individual to privacy. From reservations and payment processing to rewards programs and guest services, hotels and other businesses have multiple touch points with customers during which customer data is exchanged, he explained. It also shows what happens if something goes wrong and what happens if everything goes right.

A verdict in favour of the companies would allow the tech giants to deny services to those who refuse to divulge certain personal data.
